The elevator in the distance is Bernie, MO, and the water towers barely visible on the horizon are in Dexter, MO, 16 miles north of here, and all straight track.

Highball!
Title:  Highball!
Description:  It's 0700 sharp and 844 is backing out of Union Station. It will run west all the way to back to The Kenefick off the KCT High Line, and then run south using trackage rights down the BNSF Ft. Scott Sub. to Paola. This will be the first time a UP steam engine has used this routing out of town.
